It’s a common sight to see competing restaurants or retailers located right next to each other or on opposite corners of a busy intersection. The food or products are similar. So what makes one more favorable than the other?
Booming business may depend on luck or convenience. But odds are far greater that other factors are involved, including parking availability and condition of pavement.
Your Parking Lots Matter
From brand loyalty, service, and price to cleanliness and safety, customers have many reasons to choose where they eat and shop. While most people don’t consider parking as a deciding factor, it can make a difference. If space is limited, too far from the entrance, or if pavement is in poor condition making it difficult to navigate, the parking lot can drive business away.
Fortunately, proactive pavement management is all it takes to make sure your parking lots can compete in a saturated marketplace. But it’s not as easy as hiring the first paving contractor in the search engine or trying your luck with the lowest bid. While that may save time or a little money up front, it’s likely to cost more down the road to fix work that wasn’t done properly the first time. That’s why it’s important to carefully select a partner that specializes in paving and can uncover underlying causes of failure or design issues to determine the best long-term strategy.
